That PDK "delay" could be a software thing. I've heard of it, but I've never experienced it in my car. The only thing close is a pause if I try to go through 3-4 gears immediately. When I am going up or down a gear, it's near-instantaneous.

 

I just don't get why people keep banging on about this engine being a time bomb !!!! Do you really think Porsche would release this engine in it's flagship
model if it wasn't thoroughly tested and up to the job ???

Even if it did go pop a year down the line, u have warranty !!!

 

I think it's safe to say that when you decide to make a thread about a car, you've passed the point of no return.

 

But if they are so sure of this engine, why did PAG put the M64 in the 997.2 GT3?

 

I have no gripe about the M64 probably being better, especially in terms of race track abuse as that's where it has been proven. However, the Turbo is for a different market, and has to meet different tolerences, and most importantly, it needs to be shown as a big improvement in terms of fuel efficiency, something that i don't think is a major factor for the GT3's market.

Also, maybe there are some interface problems with that engine to PDK ????


Lets not write this new engine off until something has ACTUALLY happened to give us doubt...

Innocent until proven guilty and all that eh.....
